Vera Sato Female age 17 - a gift for animal husbandry via the Force, where she can communicate to animals, and some plants, get them to do things, etc.

"Gnasp" Al'adar- Male Twi'lek, age ??, Jedi Knight (Guardian) / Comm, Blade- Dark Orange? The Twi'lek Jedi Knight earned the nickname "Gnasp" because of his tendency to mix quick stabs into his attacks would remind his instructor of the insect. He was considered an Oddball to those who knew him well, and plain strange to those who didn't. He just had that way about him; many would say.

Bream Darklighter- Male, age 22, Jedi Knight, Engineer on Saber's Hilt, Blade- Blue. Bream is an experienced warrior, but he wasn't very smart in matters of life. Computers and numbers sure, piloting a ship, yes, great guy to be around, sure, always up for a laugh, a drink, but not very bright when it came to the little things. He knew how to fight, pilot, and math but that's about it.

Brent Darklighter- Male, age 22, Officer in the Republic Navy, on Saber's Hilt, unlike twin has no Force sensitivity. Brent always seemed quite angry at the Jedi around him. Like his brother Bream, Brent was very, very smart with computers, math and science, but unlike his brother, he excelled at almost everything he did. Part of his anger stems from the fact that he was often passed up for promotion far too many times. He was a big sports fan, and as a hobbie plays for the Republic Forces smashball team in his spare time.

Hondo Rendecki - Jedi, Chief Engineer --a humble farmer from Kuat, who bought passage to Coruscant when he came of age to see the world. But he got caught in a pirate attack which left the cargo vessel stranded in space for a long while. The engineers were killed as the pirates came aboard to rob the passengers, and it was only Hondo's remarkable skill with engines that saved them. Later, on their way to Coruscant, a Jedi ship came upon them and, recognizing Hondo's skill and latent Force abilities, recruited him to replenish their numbers after the events concerning the Jedi exile. Generally genial.

Fernando Caslet - Jedi, Security Chief --another who came late to the order. Was discovered by the Jedi when he was the Supreme Chancellor's personal bodyguard, who then gave up his position when he failed to stop an assassination plot on the Supreme Chancellor, before joining the Order and has been working diligently in his duties in atonement for his failure. Hopeless cards player. Truger's favorite opponent.

Master Nelvoa -Male Zabrak, age 60, Jedi Master, silver blade. He is Vera Sato's Master. Most of his service has been spent in the sectors bordering between the Mid and Outer Rims. In that capacity he has had several run ins with Sith cults and as a result has a very strong aversion to Jedi who don't follow the Code word for word. The Jedi Council was quite eager to add him to the crew to make sure that Will Kelvar and other Grey Jedi did not corrupt the others.

Trix Fey'lya - Bothan Jedi Master who took it upon himself to stage a coup against the Jedi leadership on the Saber's Hilt after the Mission on Hoth -A botanist turned Strategist, he has a private garden that he would often enjoy- but in recent times he's lost interest in Botany and has focused more on strategic ways of rooting out Jedi he terms as "Grey Jedi"

Azel Ketara- Female, age 17, Jedi Knight, assigned to Hoth team. A brash youth who often does something before thinking, very energetic, and this comes across in her fighting style. An Echani

Character Bios:

Name: Reptrio Gordon (Rep as a nickname) [OldMasterBen]
Age: 49
Class: Jedi Master
Weapons: Blue Lightsaber
Appearance: Light-skinned human with short, graying brown hair, graying brown stubble, brown eyes, 6'1". Wears the traditional Jedi robes (yes, like Obi-Wan Kenobi).
Other: More of Rep's history will likely come out in the RPG. Rep was born on Coruscant. As a Jedi Master, Rep has plenty of experience, and was once well known for his deadly lightsaber combat. However, due to unknown reasons (to you guys ), Rep has recently done all in his power to avoid physical confrontations. Though he can be quite persuasive with his words and the Force alone, many people question his sudden lack of fighting spirit. However, there are few in the galaxy who would still, even now, bet against Rep Gordon in a fight. Though he is known for his combat, he is very calm in and out of a fight. His strong connection to the Force was frowned upon in his early years, simply because he would often ignore this gift and make reckless choices. He has since grown wise, and will always use the Force to make a decision. Rep has had two apprentices, but does not currently have one.

Name: Truger Hollandro [Darth Skuldren]
Age: 24
Class: Jedi Knight
Weapons: Green Lightsaber, blaster, throwing knife
Appearance: Human with short brown hair, brown eyes, mustache, 5'10", wears 'Han Solo' type clothing (ie. shirt, vest, boots).
Other: Truger was born on Dantooine and was trained at the rebuilt Jedi Academy there. He developed an affinity for marksmanship and enjoys bullseyeing targets with either his blaster or his throwing knife. Because of this, his lightsaber skills have taken a back seat. He is a practitioner of Niman. He has been on a few of missions, and is always eager for adventure.

Name: Jayda Kha'dar [MaraJadeSkywalker]
Age: 21
Class: Jedi Knight
Weapons: Dual sabers: Blue and purple; twin blasters; assorted demolitions
Appearance: Dark brown hair; green eyes; wears black and red armor reminiscent of a Mandalorian, minus the helmet; 5'6''; short hair (see Keira Knightley in Domino ); wrapped tatoo from right hand up to elbow
Other: Jayda was born on Corellia, but was taken from her family at 5 years old. Despite this, she never lost her inherited affinity for electronics, be they computers, demolitions, or ships. Her Jedi Master, Adam Kirith, watched Jayda from the moment she was brought to the Temple, and sought to further develop her talent for the three things she was best at. As a result, she is an excellent security and demolitions expert, as well as a pilot to be reckoned with. Her regular Jedi studies were always somewhat of a bore to her, saving for anything to do with telekinesis or lightsaber dueling. While her Force skills are still rather lacking in many areas, she is a very competent Jedi Knight when it comes to manipulating objects (including machines) and lightsaber dueling. Her other slicing, demolition, and piloting skills aid her greatly in her missions, compensating for her wavering Force abilities. In a rebellious move at the age of 15, Jayda acquired her tatoo and Mandalorian armor. The Council allowed the tatoo and the armor, but refused to let her wear a helmet. She reluctantly, though defiantly, keeps it in her room or on her current ship. While Jayda is a competent Jedi Knight in every way, and has easily made her advancement to Knighthood, it may be awhile yet before she becomes a Master. The Council disapproves of her free spirit and reliance on things such as slicing and explosives. Only her Master was able to save her skills in those areas. But Jayda is quite content as a Knight, and is making no plans to change her behavior anytime soon.

Jayda- currently back to Temple [BTT]

Name: Will Kelvar [Salaris Vorn]

Age: 26

Class: Jedi Knight

Weapons: One regular length lightsaber with a silver-blue blade, a short lightsaber with an amber blade, and an all black combat knife with a non-reflective surface.

Other: Will Kelvar’s family ran a freighting business. As a result of the Jedi Civil War they found ready employment with the Republic military hiring out their freighter fleet and using their business connections to supply Republic garrisons with commodities unavailable through military channels. Will was born on board one of the family freighters during a supply run to one of these garrisons. As a result there is no planet he definitively calls home although both his parents came from Kuat. Three years later when his parents were delivering supplies to the Telos garrison they ran into a group of Jedi Masters who were negotiating to set up a small Jedi enclave on the surface. This group of Jedi Masters determined he was Force sensitive and took him away for training. At age eight he returned once again to Telos, this time as a Jedi Apprentice and as one of the first groups of students to train at the Telos Jedi enclave. It was here he discovered his natural gift for stealth, making many expeditions into the dens of the local predator wildlife. At age 13 he became the Padawan of Master Fa’vill Lorwen who was the head of the Jedi commandos that were formed in reaction to the Sith Assassins. They were trained to work both independently and alongside the regular commandos of the Republic military. As part of his training he became skilled in slicing and reconnaissance but is most skilled in a range of stealth oriented Force techniques, including Force Cloak, and perception enhancing techniques.

Name: Lorn Ventor [Reepicheep]
Age: 38
Class: Jedi Knight
Weapon: Dark blue lightsaber
Appearance: 6'6" A well built Chagrian with light blue skin. Wears dark brown Jedi robes.
Other: Lorn Ventor grew up like any other Jedi. He was taken by the Jedi as an infant and trained under a master until he reached Knighthood. He is now an experienced Jedi Knight who is anxiously awaiting his promotion to Jedi Master. Ventor has the characteristics of someone twice his age: moodiness and a suspicion of droids and most technology.

Name: Nykon Graves [IR2]
Age: 41
Class: Jedi Weapons Master / Jedi Wanderer
Weapon: A Pair of dark silver-blue lightsabers that can be connected end to end into a dual bladed saber, and a San-Ni staff. His San-Ni staff when deactivated resembles a baton 50 centimeters in length. Activated only by grabbing each half of the baton, twisting, then pulling them apart. The ten centimeter long stun prod then springs from each end of the staff, and two high-voltage power couplings would crackle to life in between the three pieces. Activated, the San-Ni triples in length to 150 centimeters. The electrical discharge from the prods are powerful enough to shear off limbs, cook flesh, and a near miss would give severe burns to an enemy.
Appearance: 6'2" A solid built Corellian with a sun tanned skin, brown hair, and trimmed brown beard. Nykon rarely wears his dark gray Jedi robes, feeling they get in his way. He prefers instead a more traditional spacers garb. His Vest has a special shoulder holster that holds his weapons, while keeping them out of sight. Nykon is a lethal adversary when unarmed, but even more so with his Sabers or San-Ni staff. He's been known to don armor as well when the need arises.
Other: Nykon Graves has been a Jedi wanderer for longer then he remembers. He travels around the Galaxy bringing light to the darkness he finds. He was awarded a Dynamic-class freighter as a thank you from the planet Ord Rytello for his part in the liberation of the planet from a band of pirates. Nykon uses his small freighter to continue following the Will of the Force, wherever it may lead him.

Name: Darth Modero (Azare Kinn) [OMB]
Age: 90
Class: Sith Lord
Weapons: None
Appearance: Human; very pale skin; bald; yellow eyes; wears traditional Sith robes, but with hood always on; 6'9'';
Other: Modero is a well known Sith Lord with an extremely strong connection to the Force. He has been on Hoth for 40 years. He greatly desires to leave the planet, but has not made contact with anyone off of Hoth since his arrival.

Name: Lord Reaver [IR2]
Age: to old to even guess at.... [Comes from a time before the Dark Jedi came to the Sith.]
Class:Sith Lord
Weapons: Ability to possess Force Sensitive Hosts, is a capable Saber user when pressed.
Appearance: Reaver no longer has a copareal form- his appearance is whomever he's possessed.
Other: Reaver sees himself as the Last of the Sith. He sees the Sith that have risen while he was locked away in his Sith Holocron prision as play actors. Jedi pretenders who became open to the Dark Side's power. He'd like nothing more then to wipe out both the Jedi and the Sith. Reaver is a Master of the Force. He's got more tricks then most Sith have rivals. He was betrayed long ago and forced into a Sith Holocron and was kept like a trinket in a library- All his scrolls and books had all been stolen from him by the ones who were once his brothers. His fellow Sith had stolen his teachings, his library, his body, everything. And worse still, they used it as a foundling place to start their own library Veeshas Tuwan. After they stole all his knowledge, then had his body stripped away and his spirit trapped within the Holocron. For well over 100 years he was but a part of his own library, and put to use by the ones who had betrayed him.

The library was on Arkadia, which was now long gone.

Like all his enemies.
Reaver was a master of many tricks One was an ability to amplify Dark Tendencies. It was a technique one could use to siphon ones rage into a current that broadcasted out into the Force like a hidden wave. One wouldn't feel the Dark Side at work on them. And the pure wouldn't be effected at all. But for some Jedi, it would amplify their darker emotions. It would also amplify Force powers connected to emotions. But in the manner applied, the technique was ingeniousness, no Jedi would notice his use of the Dark Side because the current was like a black hole sucking in his power and sending it unseen or noticed to his victims. .

Name: Jax.[Life Is The Path]
Age: 24.
Class: Jedi Knight, Sentinal class
Weapon: Yellow lightsabre (reverse grip) and short sword
Appearance: Human, 5'4", dark hair, lightly tanned, wears dark green Jedi robes. Slender, ahtelic, missing two fingers of his left hand, Corellian but grew up on Duro. Bears the Corellian blood stripes. These may have been stolen, rather than earned.
Other: Grew up on Duros, working in a spice mine until he was five, discovered by the Jedi Watchman of the sector and sent to Corellia for training there before being a padawan under the same Watchman, Selli Voors. While he is a Sentinal, he likes a fight, diving in often without thinking, specialising in Makashi with elements of the aggressive Ataru. Very good at making things, and loves architecture. Belligerent, cocky and supremely confidant in his abilities, and sometimes his faith is not misplaced. Usually, in a tight spot, his first thought is, 'how does this affect me?' but will otherwise help his allies. Failed Jedi Trials but passed for 'special dispensation', where he then left to travel the galaxy for a year, before showing up at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant with Doc in tow, whom he trained to hide his thoughts from probing Jedi. Unsure why this is the case.

Name: Doc (unknown if it's his real name or not, but he states it is) [Life Is The Path]
Age: 33
Class: Medical profession
Weapon, long blaster (modified for precision shooting)
[b]Appearance: Duros, 6'1", a Doctor, and non-Jedi: slender, languid pace, scar on forehead, his usually red left eye has turned off-red through loss of vision.
Other: While in the medical profession, showing proficiency in fixing battle wounds and head injuries, he appears to be rather fussy with his appearance and somewhat squeamish (not afraid of blood, but rather that he'd not get it on his attire), crossing the road simply to avoid a puddle and has a habit in wearing full protective gear when performing medical procedures and going out on expeditions where the weather could dirty his apparel. Has admitted to committing several acts of piracy, where he learned his blaster-craft, earning sharpshooter proficiency. Is somewhat hesitant to the point of violence to talk of his past. Extremely courteous otherwise. Can drink anyone under the table.

Name: Zen [Life Is The Path]
Age:Class:Sullustan Guide
Weapons:Appearance: Zen warbles in his native tongue, his voice a higher pitch than normal, thanks to a face scarred and deformed, with his nose and cheek flaps torn off - the mark of a deserter from the brigands' gang
Other:

The classic Freighter has advanced by leaps and bounds since the Dynamic class Freighters from the days of the Jedi Civil War. The freighter is larger and more versatile than its predecessors, and the XS Stock Light model also features a variety of significant upgrades that make it one of the fastest and most nimble ships in the galaxy. In addition to an enlarged cargo hold, the XS also has secret compartments throughout the ship for transporting contraband and anything else the captain would prefer to keep hidden. If the captain prefers to simply avoid being boarded, the XS has proven itself to be fully capable. In addition to the standard laser and torpedo batteries, the starship is designed with upper and lower turrets that can be controlled manually or remotely from the cockpit. Captains of these freighters typically live on board, so the XS Stock Light has all the creature comforts anyone could ask for, from a recreational lounge to extra sleeping quarters. It’s no wonder that it inspires such loyalty in its owners.

Ok I've been somewhat wondering this Life is your character Jax's looks based off of your avatar here? I can't help but notice the similarity in the green parts of the tunic and yellow lightsaber of your avatar and similar features to Jax's appearance.

That's very interesting. It's not something I'd intended, but it sounds great so let's pretend I did

Actually, I just like the yellow (because of Zayne, yes) and noticed most others had blue or green, with only one other yellow, so I chose that. The green Jedi robes was simply because he's a Corellian. Corellian Jedi were known to wear green robes._________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar.

So regarding the freighter Will observed on the way to Sullust I thought that could be a freighter full of Knights of Pain responding to Jax's disturbance of their operations on Sullust.

Regarding the art on the ship it is a very subtle reference of the Knights of Pain unit patches which is a shield design with two red lightning bolts converging at the tip on the base of the shield with the main part of the shield containing some sort of skull design. In the case of the Sullust group I thought they might use a star scape pattern to create a stylized human skull. Not obvious enough to have the casual observer spot it or have it stand out at a distance even to someone familiar with Knights of Pain logos, but at close range it is obvious to anyone in the know._________________

And NOTE TO LURKERS CURIOUS ABOUT THIS RPG- we're always in a place for someone to come in. The ship's crew has never been fully mentioned, and anytime we hit a new planet- (as we have with Life here) you can come in that way too. _________________-Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush.

Basically it is a game. Each player creates a character (or more as is the case with Life and IR2). All the characters then engage in a story (agreed on by the group).

The basics are you write posts that develops your character and their role in the story as they interact with other characters and act/react to the story developments The easiest way to understand how this is actually done would be to browse/read through these two threads:

If you've got some clarification questions feel free to ask! And as IR2 has said we're happy to add new players. _________________

You were going to escape and begin making your way to when you run into Jax (Life) and hire him to get you off Sullust in an homage to ANH.

The very end of your last post (on page 3) reads:

Rushing to the boarding ramp, she found it already lowered and the Dark Man missing. Reaching out for him in the Force, she found his aura was bubbling, nearly exploding, like lava out of a volcano. Whatever had spooked him, it was troubling enough that he had seemingly forgotten about his prisoner. If he was setting a trap for her, she could not see the point, and she had never met a better actor.

Considering this for no more than a moment, Jayda thought it prime time to make her escape._________________
